Do we want to share them with the world? Especially when we have a business to sell beautiful works of art and only want our peers to see our gorgeous finished masterpieces ?
Admit?, we have made hideous things no one wants. Not even our Mothers?
And take pictures of said monstrosities and Post them on the Internet for others to see and LAUGH AT!
"Mom, I (choke)love you (choke) but.............." Poor doggy1
Craft Fail Blog A lot of funny wonky finished projects with pictures. My favorite is an attempt to apply henna via a condom!
My biggest goof up was a pair of bell bottom pants I tried to make to wear on a Saturday TV Dance show my "whole school " was going to watch. ( Get the importance here?)
I bought a pattern that showed a incredibly cool "Mod Squad" looking Peggy Lipton model posing in perfect white bell bottom pants. Well in the olden days patterns NEVER fit like the picture.......NEVER!
So I made them and then had to keep taking them in a little here and out a little there, and in a tad and out a tad, and on and on at all different positions along the outside leg seam.
Oh,..... I suddenly realized the problem........I needed to adjust the inside leg seem too, that would fix the problem. In and out and in and out.....................
Nothing could make them Mod Squad "cool". Eventually I was crying and finally wadded them up and stuffed them in the kitchen garbage can.
An hour later I decided to give them another try. When I pulled them out of the garbage can they had disgusting coffee ground stains all over them. I tried to bleach them. No way was that stain budging, but I did bleach out some of the carpet in the bathroom!
Thankfully my mother made me a "hip" gold skirt and vest to wear with a long sleeve ruffled white blouse, think "Austin Powers" and I made it to the show wearing a very "in" fashion.
Are you brave enough to share a "flop" story?
